Re: My First Build

Lol, damn the torpedos!!! full steam ahead!!! I found it interesting that on the main overdrive screen it reported 1000Megs, then in the gpu - z screen it showed 999. The fact that no artifacts were present is stylin. When you do get the shots using riva post them?

Re: My First Build

lol, yep where would we be without coffee? I don't know abt everyone else but I'd still be sleeping! haha.

So that overclocking info is still a work-in-progess. Form after form of college paperwork has been keeping me busy!

So earlier this month my keyboard finally gave out on me (the O, P, Spacebar, and Backspace keys stopped working lol). I tried giving it a good cleaning, but to no avail. So I ended up pulling out an old microsoft "ergonomic" keyboard (you know, the ones w/ the split keyboard, I think the newer ones are under the "natural comfort" moniker or something similar). I say "ergonomic" b/c to me they are harder to type on than the regular "less ergonomic" keyboards :p. But, and just my luck, that keyboard then failed on me (but I was kind of expecting that one to die soon anyway as I had that keyboard when I had windows 3.1! lol, so needless to say it's been through a lot, When I got XP i got a regular keyboard and put the MS one away, and it's been sitting in the closet or garage ever since!) I still had one other keyboard but it was being used by family members for their computer so I couldn't use that one. I decided to look at this as an opportunity to get a nice, new keyboard so I headed over to newegg and picked up a new keyboard.

I decided on the Saitek Eclipse, which although not wireless, so far is a good keyboard imo. Here are a few pics:

Re: My First Build

Two keyboards down, a very good reason for the new aquisition! Those ergonomic keyboards seemed to me to be right out of the spanish inquisition! I never could get the wrist angle correct - laziness I suspsect, but self torture was never my cup of tea, lol. Saitek Eclipse sweetness - late nights running Mass Effect, lol??? Especially with the niiiice backlit glow!
